Shall section 7 (1) of article III of the constitution be created to provide that private donations and grants may not be applied for, accepted, expended, or used in connection with the conduct of any primary, election, or referendum?”
2) Question 2 would add a new section to Article III of the state constitution that states that no one other than an election official authorized by law may help conduct any election in the state. The ballot question was placed on the ballot with another amendment to the same section that would prohibit any level of government in the state from applying or accepting non-governmental funds or equipment for election administration.
